Greek Goddesses, Kraftin' Kimmie Style!!

(If you are looking for the Tiffany Doodles Blog Hop, please click HERE!)

Good morning and welcome to day three of the Kraftin' Kimmie Sneak Peeks!! It's also time for our weekly challenge...this week's hostess is the lovely Nicole Aspinall who had created at fantastic Sketch for us to play along with!

Today's sneak peeks feature the newest stamps by Annie Rodrigue...this month, she has created some gorgeous Greek Goddesses!! Kimmie is also releasing a great set of Goddess Sentiments to coordinate with Annie's new stamps. For my card today, I inked up the beautiful Gaia. I paired her up with some various scraps of paper and added this fantastic sentiment by John Lennon which comes with Gaia.

Gaia was stamped on Neenah cardstock and coloured with my Copics.

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20 Hair: E50, E31, E33, E37, E59 Shirt: BG0000, BG000, BG01, BG05, BG09, BV23 Skirt: E41, YG00, YG91, YG95, G99 (I know I used some greys to shade, but I forgot to record them! I believe I used some warm greys, and perhaps some BV29 and BV29) Globe: B000, B00, B02, B05, B07, B37, BV23, C7, G20, G21, G28, BV23...again, I used a few other colours for shading as well which I cannot remember. Sorry about that!! I did use a lot of tip to tip blending to try to create a smooth blend.

Here's Nicole's fantastic sketch:

Oh my heck!!! What an absolutely amazing card! I love how deeply she is colored...the world she is holding just pops. Such a beautiful card. She's one of my favorites from the release...just love this release!

Melanie, Stunning card. I just love your coloring as always. I do want to tell you I has problems leaving a comment so I went though Mozilla FireFox. Every time I clicked on comment before your page would freeze up????Hugs, Patricia

Hi Melanie! Your cards always make me gasp when I see them. So much depth and texture. You are a wizard with the Copics! This creation is exquisite! Not only does her dress have a lovely satin feel to it, but the globe literally pops off the paper. Amazing! Hugz, Cheryl
